Grilled peaches with balsamic-blueberry sauce

I love making desserts with the fruit that is so beautiful this time of year, and this past week I couldn't help myself with the gorgeous peaches and blueberries I found at the market. The peaches were such a bright color and extremely fragrant. Perfect. Before I moved to California six years ago, I lived in Holland, Michigan. That area grew a lot of blueberries and peaches. Though I never picked my own blueberries, I did go to the peach orchards on more than one occasion to pick the ripe peaches. My mom and my sister make amazing peach pies and blueberry pies. I wanted to try something a little different though, so I went to the grill. I brushed some melted butter on the peach halves and put them on the grill for just a couple minutes, just long enough to heat through and become a little bit tender. For the sauce, I combined blueberries, sugar, and a bit of balsamic vinegar and heated just to boiling. The result was a sweet sauce, but with just a bit of tang from the vinegar. The balsamic-blueberry sauce was perfect over the peaches and with a bit of vanilla ice cream, I was in heaven...
